any of you kids know what a decent oil psi these bikes run at?
i bored a thread and ran a copper vacuum gauge at the oil galley near the right bottom of the engine and im getting 50 to 55psi at warm idle and it jumps to 60-70 with a light rev.

any ideas, is she running right?
shes got 5w 40 in her, full synthetic.
